I have two kids now and through watching them, I keep having flashbacks to my own childhood.

And getting older, what's happening is, I play only mothers.

When Sônia [Braga] talked about the script in detail, it was as if she had seen the film [Aquarius] last night, even though it hadn't existed yet. It was a completely bulls - t-less reaction, so I knew it had to be her, and she has been great ever since.

I like visual arts, and what I love doing is participating in the making of it.

If you take away money, if you take away the houses and things, who are we really? What is love really about? What is it to love each other? Why do we stay together, and why do all the kids split? All these questions I have really deep inside of me.

I keep boxes filled with recuerdos - little memories that are in the form of pictures and events that I've written down. It's funny that I chose to write them in Spanish rather than English or Portuguese.

[Aquarius] it had a bit of a rocky arrival in cinemas because we were given the 18+ rating, which did not make any sense in terms of the Brazilian rating system for a film like this.

Sônia Braga reacted in a beautiful way to the draft I sent her, so we just made the film [Aquarius] as I had written it. Emilie [Lesclaux], my wife and producer, told me, This is not a two-hour film. This is going to be longer. And I said, Well, let's try and make it work, whatever length it is.

You see all these old buildings [in Rio] going down or catching fire overnight, and it is so sad. I am very connected with these buildings because they are our history. It is the only one that we have.

These 150-minute superhero films that Hollywood is making are so concerned with their length that each scene doesn't have the time it needs to make sense.
Sonia Braga
Image
I'm not saying that we need more stories about people of a certain age, we just need more great stories about people.
Sonia Braga
Image
When I wrote the script [of Aquarius], it seemed to hold people's interest.
Sonia Braga

We can bring to characters dark and bright sides that nobody even dreams about.

You can keep yourself alive. That's the magic of being an actor.

Of course, I was a little concerned about it being over two hours [in Aquarius ]. Neighboring Sounds was two hours and eleven minutes. This is two hours and twenty-five minutes, and I did try bringing it down. For instance, I considered cutting out the sequence with the family looking at pictures.

I think anybody who was ever saddened by a movie theater closing would be able to understand this film [Aquarius].

The ruins of classic movie theaters are a personal obsession of mine, and I've made a couple of documentaries about it.

We did receive some questions about the film's [Aquarius] sexuality in Cannes, but they came from the press rather than audiences.
Sonia Braga

Everybody else is going to react differently to the film [Aquarius], but what I love about it is that both men and women are going to react to it because they will find themselves represented.
